411: The smallest secret place in the world

“Master, that’s basically it.”

After the Soul Search was completed, Yin Feishuang’s corpse had become stiff. The Puppet threw his corpse on the ground like a dead dog, then stood at the edge of the courtyard and began to rest with his eyes closed.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, stared at the corpse on the ground, lost in thought.

The Soul Clan being able to start a war in the Spirit Realm indicates that their fighting style is very violent and unconventional in the Spirit Realm. If I can master it, I will have an extra trump card when I Ascend to the Spirit Realm in the future!

“It seems I need to quickly raise my strength and find an Opportunity to visit the Soul Clan’s territory!”

Qin Feng had some strange ideas in his mind.

In the following days.

The Human Race, Beast Clan, and Ghost Clan, the three major races, experienced this bloody battle, and all forces began to keep a low profile.

Almost every race selected new leaders in a very short time. The first thing these people did upon taking power was almost always to send people to the Demon Clan Forest to show goodwill to Qin Feng, sending Spirit Stones, medicinal materials, Cultivation Techniques, Secret Treasures…

In just a few days, Qin Feng’s Storage Pouch was filled with three…

…

For the next period of time.

Aside from occasionally experiencing the taste of an Immortal with Qu Xiaoting, he always stayed in the wooden house to Cultivate the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Skill, absorbing Immortal Qi to Cultivate. It was a pity that the Jianmu Tree was still in its seedling state, only able to produce a maximum of twelve wisps of Immortal Qi per day.

And Qin Feng’s Realm always remained at the Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection Realm, without any further progress. Qin Feng understood in his heart that this was his Bottleneck, and it was time to wait for an Opportunity to Breakthrough again.

To Breakthrough as quickly as possible, Qin Feng tried many methods.

Enlightenment Tea, Enlightenment Pill, ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Fruit…

He tried all sorts of methods. Early this morning, Qu Xiaoting mysteriously took Qin Feng out of the Demon Clan Forest.

“Where are you taking me?”

“You’ll know when we get there. That place will definitely help you Breakthrough!”

Her cultivation had now recovered to the Incarnation Early Stage Realm, while Qin Feng was at the Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection Realm. Their travel speed was extremely fast, crossing hundreds of thousands of kilometers in just half an incense stick’s time, arriving at a place with a terrain full of hills.

Looking down from above.

Occasionally, villages, small towns, farmlands, and cities could be seen on the ground.

In the center of this city, a huge white shield could be seen, like a large pot inverted on the ground, at least twenty to thirty li wide, and this city was built around this white shield.

Qin Feng was a bit curious, and his Divine Sense instantly appeared above the white shield, intending to see what this thing was.

He didn't know until he looked.

This look immediately sent a chill down Qin Feng’s heart.

Because this white shield was not someone else’s Divine Sense barrier, nor a Formation Seal, but a kind of spatial Restriction, something similar to… a Secret Realm.

But, where is there such a small Secret Realm?

Seeing the puzzled expression on Qin Feng’s face, Qu Xiaoting knew he had already noticed the extraordinary nature of this white shield, so she explained: “This is where Immortal Venerable Qiongyao secluded herself for Cultivation when she Ascended. She Cultivated here for one hundred and nine years with her back against a huge rock. After her Ascension, this place was originally nothing special, but as time passed, it gradually transformed into a blessed land, and that rock became an Enlightenment Stone in the eyes of Cultivators of all races, extremely efficacious.

It’s just that three hundred years ago, spatial fluctuations formed around this Enlightenment Stone, sealing it inside. It only opens once every fifty years, and now there are about six months until the Enlightenment Stone opens.”

Enlightenment Stone?

Originally, Qin Feng thought there was some strange treasure inside, but after hearing Qu Xiaoting’s explanation, his interest was immediately piqued.

Although he wasn't sure if it would be effective, it was certainly faster than fumbling around on his own.

After confirming, Qin Feng and the woman immediately descended to the ground and found a relatively high-grade inn to stay in.

This city is named Enlightenment City. Besides the local residents, most Cultivators from outside come here to see the Restriction of the Enlightenment Stone, which is also a rare scenic spot in the Cultivation World.

In the evening.

Qin Feng did not go to see the Restriction of the Enlightenment Stone, but instead aimlessly wandered the streets.

“Ever since my cultivation Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, I’ve rarely seriously gone shopping.”

A relaxed smile appeared on Qin Feng’s face, and he then began to seriously shop. There were hawkers enthusiastically shouting by the street, energetic young servants at the entrance of inns, and two Low-Grade Cultivators at the alley entrance arguing because one had peed on the other’s foot. Looking at the street, the endless stream of people and the bustling human voices not only created a lively atmosphere but also condensed a faint golden Qi in the air above.

This Qi was different from the power of life and the power of Qi and blood. Qin Feng secretly guessed that this Qi was probably the so-called popular appeal!

There was nothing particularly interesting on the street, just some haggling between vendors and customers, or the fawning of shop assistants towards guests. Everything, in Qin Feng's eyes, was human nature, and the most common kind at that, nothing worth seeing.

Thinking of this.

Qin Feng changed direction and walked directly into an alley.

This was because there were many people coming and going in this alley, and most of them were shabbily dressed, looked tired, and had no cultivation, clearly living by doing odd jobs in the city.

Entering the alley, the dirty, messy, and foul smell inside made one involuntarily frown.

Holding his breath, he finally walked out of the alley with difficulty. What suddenly opened up before him were countless dense and extremely dilapidated thatched huts. Under the eaves nearby, women with delicate appearances stood, waving their handkerchiefs, signaling Qin Feng to come in and have fun…

Continuing further inside, there were far fewer women hawking, and the area became even more dilapidated. The thatched huts were patched up, the clothes drying in the courtyards were no different from trash, and several naked children were playing with stone beads on the ground.

In the adjacent courtyard stood a lame old man, leaning on a wooden staff, with one eye blind. When he felt Qin Feng’s gaze, a smile immediately squeezed onto his face: “With nothing to do, I watch these children play to pass the time.”

Qin Feng returned a smile, intending to continue forward.

Just then.

A stone bead rolled to Qin Feng’s feet. Many children, seeing Qin Feng’s neatly dressed appearance, immediately showed nervous expressions in their eyes, because in this city, most people of their status wore tattered clothes. Such neatly dressed people mostly came to the alley ahead to play with women, so they were afraid.

Qin Feng squatted on the ground.

He took out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone from his Storage Pouch, broke it into Spirit Crystal, and placed it in his palm, asking the children: “Do you think the matter I want to accomplish this time will succeed?”

How could they know what this man wanted to accomplish? They only knew that the Spirit Crystal in front of them was appealing, and they could exchange it for a few pieces of malt sugar at the small grocery store in the nearby alley.

“It will succeed! It will definitely succeed!”

A brave child shouted, then tentatively stretched out a hand. Qin Feng smiled and gave him a broken Spirit Crystal.

Seeing this, another little girl in tattered pants came forward: “Big brother, you are so kind, you will definitely succeed, we believe in you!”

“I'll take your good wishes!”

The smile in Qin Feng’s eyes grew happier, and he immediately gave her two broken Spirit Crystals.

“Big brother, you are tall and mighty, powerful and domineering, intelligent and clever, you will definitely get what you wish for. Can I have three Spirit Crystals?”

“Here!”

The children returned with their gains, and Qin Feng also walked out of the alley with a beaming smile, feeling extremely elated.

Just then, Qu Xiaoting found him, and at the same time, countless people were frantically running towards the Enlightenment Stone. Qin Feng was a bit confused, but Qu Xiaoting looked excited and pulled Qin Feng along with the crowd.

“What happened?”

“The Restriction on the Enlightenment Stone seems to have loosened, it might open early!”
